Struck Gas.

Mr.. Tom Robinson was engaged in
making holes in the heads of some
empty whisky barrels last Saturday
which Hanlon & Lemon, the marble
dealers, intended using to hold rain
water, when a very peculiar accident
occurred. He had opened one by Dor.
ing hole through the head with red
hot iron, but fortunately the bung was
out and the operator was safe. In the
second barrel, however, the bung. hole
was tightly corked and the barrel was
perfectly air-tight. Consequently when
the red-hot rod reached the interior and
touched the accumulation of gas inside
there was racket that woke the echoes.
The barrel flew to pieces, the head
Mr.. Robinson and seriously
fracturing his arm. His vest was torn
off him, and he sustained few bruises.
There seems to be danger in whisky

Memoir Of yohn II. Jollx.

John IL. Jolly, son OF David and Mary
Jolly, was born at the old homestead
near this place. March 2. 1911, and died
at his home en East Walnut street, June
2s, 1887. He had always been a resident
OF this vicinity, q pioneer in the early
history Of Highland county, and one OF
those who have been foremost in plans
for the benefit Of town and county. He
was at one time member OF the Gen.
eral Assembly of Ohio, being sent as
Representative from this county.
He became widely known many years
ago while dealing extensively in stock,
and those who have transacted business
with him can testify only Of his thorough
integrity and fairness. In 1870 he re.
moved to Hillsboro and engaged in the
grain business, where he remained sew.
eral years. As a business man he was
careful, prudent, honest and ublislng.
lie was man Of strong convictions
and frank expression. His political
VIEWS were everywhere appreciated as
sincere, studied and reliable. lie pos
sessed that force of character and firm.
ness Of decision which naturally made
him leader, and his opinions and ad-
vice were held in esteem. No man was
more loyal to the best interests of his
country than John jolly. At the out
break Of the civil war he was a man too
old for service on the field, but he rem.
dered invaluable aid by his untiring
efforts in securing volunteers. Even in
his later years his interest in political
affairs did not cease, and Highland coun-
ty owes much to his usefulness as a pri.
vate citizen and as public man.
He was twice married, first to Ellen j.
Linn. Six children were born to them,
two of whom, John S. and Robert L.,
now reside here. Some years after the
death of Mrs. jolly he was married to
Annie S. Green, who survives him.
The family have the sympathy Of many
friends in the loss they have sustained.
Tho funeral services were conducted
from the late residence on Wednesday,
Rev. DIR. McSurely officiating.

The Fourth Mt BufOrd.

Under the lead and direction of Ed.
mond L. Hughes Post, G.. A. R., the cit
izens Of Buford and vicinity celebrated
the 4th of July in grand style. Mober.
ley's grove, the place of meeting, was
splendid one for the purpose, with plenty
OF good shade. 1t was most appropri-
ate thing for the G. A. r. to lead off, for
to its members the 4th Of July is given
additional significance and appreciation.
They fought to preserve what their FORE
fathers fought to gain and establish. The
citizens generally rallied to the support
OF the boys. Three long tables were
spread and filed with the best of prov
ender of all kinds for the "boys who had
worn the blue" and for all others wno
had not come provided with eatables.
There must have been present at least
22O members of the G.. A. r., coming
from various Posts, notably from Mt.
Oreb.
Short and interesting stump addresses
were made by several before dinner.
After dinner Capt. D. M. Barrett pro.
ceeded to deliver fine speech, but was
twice interrupted by heavy rain, which
everyone was glad to see, not because OF
interrupting the captain, but because
the rain was badly needed. The whole
day, however, was very much enjoyed
by all present, even the rain not ma
terially interfering with the joyous oc.
casion. The G. A. RI boys are to be
greatly congratulated on the success of
this their first public celebration, and
the citizens deserve great praise for back
ing up the Post so handsomely. About
2 800 people were present.

The home of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Haigh
near Belfast, was the scene of q quiet
but very pleasant wedding last Weines.
day morning, the contracting parties
being Mr.. James Carlisle and Miss Mat
tie Glenn.
At 1890, during the faultless rendition
of the beautiful march, '"The Bride of
the Wind" by Miss Lizzie Mitchell, the
attendants, Mr.. Charles Allison, with
Miss Lillian Garrett, who was attired in
light national blue silk, and Mr.. Milton
Lucas, with Miss Matte Shannon,
dressed in garnet brown silk, were fol-
lowed upon the floor by the bride and
groom.
The groom was dressed in the conven-
tional suit of black, while the bride wore
light green surah silk, trimmed in white
lace. The graces which have made her
the idol of society were effectively
shown, and the pangs felt by the loss of
one so accomplished were Modified in
some degree by the bright prospects
which await her in her new sphere.
The groom is a well-known business
man who by habits of industry and in.
tegrity has amassed large fortune and
possessed himself of the esteem of all
no higher commendation can be paid
than that he deserves the fair prize he
has won.
After the marriage ceremony had
been solemnized by Elder Pearson, as.
sisted by Rev. Pollard, the bridal party,
with their guests, repaired to Hillsboro,
where choice dinner awaited them at
the Kramer House.
The bride and groom, accompanied by
their attendants as far as Cincinnati,
left in the afternoon on a trip to Cleve-
land, Niagara, Toronto and Washington
City.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carlisle will soon occupy
the beautiful suburban home, which is
now being built about mile from Hills
boro on the Belfast pike, and Mr.. Carlisle
will still engage in overseeing his large
stock farms. ONE Who Was THERE.

Picntc-Between the Drops.

"He that observeth the wind shall not
SOW, and he that regardeth the clouds
shall not reap" So saith "wise man"
and SO felt many loyal, patriotic, tenn
perance souls on the Fourth as, despite
the wind andshower, they gathered with
merry faces and light hearts (but heavy
baskets) at the rustic old Jackson Spring.
1t would be impossible to estimate the
amount of real, honest enjoyment that
filled the hours from three o'clock until
half-past five. The red, white and blue
in the form of miniature flags bearing
two memorable dates-1776 and 1881
were literally distributed.
The good things so daintily hid away
in baskets, and the lemonade so tempt
ingly presented in tubs, were held in
custody by the matrons, who, with one
eye upon the clouds and the other upon
the hungry crowd, felt that it was time
to try woman's soul when 10 o! a rift in
the cloud gave promise of sufficient time
for an irregular, expeditions attack, and
it was made.
After the fragments" were gathered
up and all things restored to order
clouds and rain-drops having taken their
departure to more fortunate locality
the call was made for "feast OF reason"
So the gifted ones in song and speech
were called upon, who responded to the
delight of the brave crowd, after which
all quietly returned to their homes,
amazed at the success of the Fourth of
July picnic, 1887. -.
